Southport just got a major style upgrade.
Portland Leather has officially opened its doors at 3355 N. Southport Ave., bringing its cult-favorite lineup of handcrafted leather goods, timeless bags, and small-batch accessories directly into the heart of Lakeview. For neighbors who’ve only experienced the brand online, this new brick-and-mortar location is a chance to see, feel, and fall in love with their craftsmanship up close.
A Brand Known for Quality, Character & “Perfectly Imperfect” Leather
If you’ve ever scrolled through their famous “Almost Perfect” section, you already know the charm of Portland Leather — beautifully made pieces with natural character, built to last and age gracefully. The shop features:
- Full-grain and pebbled leather totes
- Crossbody bags, backpacks, and wallets
- Limited-run colors you can’t always find online
- Home goods and small accessories
- Their beloved “Almost Perfect” deals in-store
Every item feels unique, and it’s the kind of shop where you instinctively start thinking of gifts — for others and yourself.
A Perfect Fit for Southport’s Shopping Scene
The arrival of Portland Leather adds another great stop to a corridor already known for its mix of national brands and local flair. It’s a welcome addition for anyone who appreciates quality, sustainable materials, and that slightly rugged-meets-refined aesthetic.
With the holidays around the corner, the timing couldn’t be better. Expect this to become a go-to spot for elevated gifting, last-minute surprises, and those classic “I was just walking by and… ended up buying myself something” moments.
